Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez growing frustrated with lack of transfer activity after targets repeatedly slip the net

Rafa Benitez is growing increasingly frustrated with Newcastle United’s lack of progress in the transfer market.

The Magpies have made an offer in the region of £8million for Norwich winger Jacob Murphy but have been told he is not for sale and sources have indicated that progress on that front looks unlikely.

Sportsmail also understands that Newcastle will not be revisiting a loan move for Liverpool wideman Sheyi Ojo as the demands for the deal are too high.
